Stories from the world of RC car racing

After a record (for Leonard ) long time with one brand Leonard has decided to move on to try something else.
Leonard is still going to be around and still has a expansive knowledge of the Schumacher Mi4 LP which he is happy to share with any of the Schuie drivers as usual.
We wish Leonard well with his new brand – shame he’ll have to pit in the carpark now. 😆 😆 😆

    Some say he’s lashed out and bought a Corally 😛 .
    Others say he is settling down, getting married, and having a couple of kids 😯 .
    All we know for sure is that his name is “Grasshopper” and he will be back racing soon 😎 !!!

    Well the smart pick would be xray t3 but I think he has went for the second best car which is a Yokomo b5.Lenny you have to get over the orange colour because if you can’t you will never have a good car :mrgreen:

    No not the TC5r – not even Leonard would go there.
    Peter I think his new choice will prove be marginally better than Street Weapon. (close but better)

    Heavy now your playing I’m thinking that it would be a s400 by the gear diff comment but I know he would not go there as parts are hard to get.and there is only 1 thing that the s400 gear diff fits is Tamiya 415 as far as I know and if he was to go there that’s a massive step back from a lp.I’m still sticking with the yokomo

    I would have thought Yokomo as well but no – not any kind of purple either (I don’t think ) – unless he dyes it.

    Well it would have been a Yokomo if he could have waited that extra week 🙄 But I guess he got the next best thing…no sorry, 3rd best thing.

    For the record, the Touring cars I have owned since starting racing in 2005: (in order)
    JRXS (bloody ranga made me do it)
    HB Cyclone (blink of an eye)
    TC4 (less than a couple of months)
    Xray T2 007 (2 race meets)
    TC5 (longest time with one car)
    Xray T2 009 (sloppy seconds hand me down)
    Mi4 (and also with LP chassis on – second longest)
    Heavy……no gear diff or marriage for me….I don’t want to replace rear belts halfway through every run
    Ranga…..the shelf weapon is all yours!!! :mrgreen:
    Clinton…..do you actually work? and how many times have you visited this thread??? and called me??
    Adrian……I could have waited (new Bd5)….but it’s not for retail sale until end of March/early April, but as you know….I didn’t. And as all kids say…….I want it now, I want it now!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
    So…..to put some closure on the matter……
    the car is Tamiya 416x 😯 😆 😯 😆
    Who’s got the money on what the next car will be and how long it will take???? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Not Keith – he is Offroad these days – and enjoying the change so I hear.
    When the Cougar gets here I might have a small change to offroad myself for awhile.
